Helping people with anxiety, stress and sadness through counselling and psychotherapy

COUNSELLING

What happens in a therapy session?

Basically we talk. You will often hear psychotherapy and counselling referred to as “talk therapy”. In the main the talking is done by the client because a therapy session is the client’s safe space to reveal their innermost thoughts and feelings in a totally non judgemental environment. In and of itself this alone is often a therapeutic experience.
In a special relationship with the therapist though the client’s revelations are explored
so the client fully understands themselves – an essential start to any form of therapy.
Among the therapist’s responsibilities at this stage is the creation of a unique relationship where the therapist’s psychological skills can be used to help alleviate the client’s pain and encourage positive change.
